SoCal Amusement Parks

So you're planning a trip to Southern California. And you're interested in checking out the Southern California amusement parks. The trouble is, there are more than 10 major amusement parks to choose from, and finding the time to see all of them is darn near impossible. Here's our advice: Plan your amusement park visits by location, allowing at least one full day to explore each park. If you're staying at a hotel in Anaheim, you can efficiently visit Disneyland, California Adventure and Knott's Berry Farm. And you can take a free shuttle from Anaheim to Universal Studios Hollywood. Or if you're staying in the Hollywood/LA city area, you can see Universal Studios and the LA Zoo.

Wondering how far these amusement parks are from each other? Check out our Amusement Parks mileage chart.

  • Knott's Berry Farm   ( 2 Articles )

    In 1920, a guy named Walter Knott showed up in Buena Park, California, and began growing berries on a 10-acre parcel of land. At that time, good ole Walter had no idea that he was starting something big. His little roadside berry stand evolved first into a dinner restaurant and next into a quaint ghost town to entertain the guests. Such were the humble beginnings of Knott's Berry Farm, a world-class destination and one of Southern California's favorite theme parks.

  • Sea World San Diego   ( 2 Articles )

    Sea World San Diego is an amusement park and aquatic zoo rolled into one. For most people, the appeal of the park is linked to the charming personalities of dolphins and killer whales. These huge marine mammals (not fish!) are fascinating in their size, intelligence and willingness to do tricks for humans. While Sea World San Diego isn't the place for big thrill rides, it's definitely a great choice for an all-day family friendly outing.
